Music by Arthur Sullivan
| Terence. |
Isabel Jay as Lady Rosie Pippin and Robert Evett as Terence O'Brien.
 |
|
'Twas in Hyde Park beside the Row
That she and I first met;
Against the rails I pressed my suit
(Although the paint was wet, was wet); |
| Chorus. |
| Ah me! the paint was wet. |
| Terence. |
I said, "Love me, and I'll love you,"
She could not answer "No!"
For she was one and I was two,
That day in Rotten Row. |
| Chorus. |
Oh, she was one and he was two,
That day in Rotten Row. |
| Rosie. | |
'Twas at a ball, the lights were low,
And he and I had met;
He told me of that hopeless suit -
I felt my eyes grow wet;
|
| Chorus. | |
| She felt her eyes grow wet.
|
| Rosie. | |
He whispered, "How can I win you?"
I answered "I don't know,
For I was won when you were too
That day in Rotten Row."
For I was won when you were too
That day in Rotten Row.
|
| Chorus. | |
For she was won when he was too
That day in Rotten Row.
|
| Rosie. |
Terence. |
Chorus. |
|
For she was won |
|
| La, la, la, la, la, |
and I was too, |
For |
| la, la, la, la, la, la, la, |
and I was too, |
she was won |
|
When I was two |
|
| La, la, la, la, la, |
and she was one, |
When |
| la, la, la, la, la, la, la, |
and she was one, |
he was too, |
|
|
For she was one |
|
|
when he was two, |
| For I was won |
For you were won |
One |
| when you were too, |
and I was too, |
when he was two, |
| That day in Rotten Row, |
That day in Rotten Row, |
That day in Rotten Row, |
| In Rotten Row! |
In Rotten |
In Rotten |
| Rotten Row, |
Rotten Row, |
Rotten Row, |
| Rotten Row! |
Rotten Row! |
In Rotten, Rotten, Rotten Row! |
